Greater Roadrunner

	Meet the Real Roadrunner - National Zoo\| FONZ
		Roadrunners are masters of opportunity, capturing a variety of prey, including lizards, scorpions, snakes, rodents, small birds, eggs, millipedes, spiders, and insects.
		Geographically, though, the roadrunner' s range is impressive, and it has been expanding in recent years, probably due in part to an increase in overgrazed, cleared areas that provide plenty of shrubby cover.
		The greater roadrunner is found from California east to western Louisiana and Arkansas, north to the lowlands of Colorado and Nevada, and south to southern Mexico, where its closest relative, the lesser roadrunner (Geococcyx velox), takes over and occurs south to Nicaragua.
